A gorgeous album of photos of your L. martagon hybrids, Elena - wonderful to have such success in growing them and appreciate their beautiful colours in the winter months

Hi ,
Extraordinary photos Elena!!! Beautiful colors!!! I wonder if we can have such marvels in Europe. Has anybody heard of such hybrids on offer in nurseries?
Elena, are you breeding hybrid Martagon lilium ?
Thanks for this stunning photo album

Friends, once again thanks! You are very kind to me!

Oh, Jean, you press my sore point  :) I do not do hybrids. I have a small garden and  is not present a place for high-grade cultivation seedling and selection of perspective variants. When I will be the millionaire,  I can buy a big field and devote the life my favourite martagons! 8) 8) 8)

That 'Orange Marmalade' is especially lovely, Elena. I really like the colour.

Strangely, looking at these martagon hybrids, I can actually smell that distinctive martagon scent. I like it but I know some people don't. Same with the somewhat similar Lilium szovitsianum fragrance - I like the scent but I know other gardeners who can't stand it.

Aroma super!! I catch a smell of all sweets on a planet! My husband catches shades of cucumbers  :) :)

Martin, 'Orange Marmalade'  really good. In a garden it looks as a toy. Very amusing!

This year  the big impression of one more group of lilies. One of Lankongense hybrids has blossomed. Wow! I in delight!
Somebody has these lilies?

P.S. I ask to forgive me. The photo name was displayed not correctly. It has been written on russian. Oops :-\  It is "Peggi".

Lilium nepalense just about to open. Awaiting the night fragrance. It's my favourite of the species.

I have two flowers, just about past now, this year, but dozens of smaller plants and seedlings. My flowering plants are in a pot.

Noses are strange things when it comes to flower scents. Some people smell one thing, and others smell something very different.

Elena, 'Orange Marmalade' looks very unusual, a little like a large-flowered eremurus I think with those outward-facing starry flowers. And I see what you mean - it does also look like a brightly-painted child's wooden toy. The lankongense hyrbid is also very nice. Do you know what the other parent was?

Elena,

Interesting spotting on the 'Peggi'.  Of those last martagons you have shown.... I love the "No Name 2" and the "Backhouse Hybrid" the best.  Interesting colour blends to them.  Thanks for the extra pics.  8)
Cheers.

My mother's name is Peggy (short for Margaret).   :)    Beautiful spotting on the petals.
